Connection failed on Safari for Mac

I have a problem on a single site that is using Flash player to broadcast video news. Some time ago using Firefox I've got already a Connection failed error, whilst from another Mac there are no problem at the same time. Switching on Safari seemed to solve the issue as the connection issue wasn't present. Now I've got the same problem on Safari too, whilst on the other Mac everything keeps working flawlessy. I'm focusing the issue about something related to permissions as the user who has problems on that Mac has a managed profile, even though has no restrictions running applications (His dock is blocked to avoid her, a 81 years-old lady, to do a mess with the icons on it(!)), and accessing my admin profile on the same mac everything works fine with that site. I have already rebuild permissions on the disk, but no lack. OS is Leopard. Processor is Intel. Please help. Thank you.

To andy.... Sheez, thank you for pointing out the Vimeo video. I'd completely forgotten it was there. Some pages rarely get attention. They're just there.
What are "cursor images"?
"What OS & Safari version were the problems noted with ?". Wish I could tell you, but even if I'd gotten the information first hand, I'm not sure this particular population would know the answer themselves. (They tend to be quite elderly - and I say that as a 70 year old myself - and probably still use AOL for email.) All I've been told is that several people haven't been able to get the site to work. The few mentioned whom I know do use Safari on an iMac, so I'm jumping to the conclusion that that this applies to most if not all.
Had a LOL moment when you said "the web inspector went silly." See my response to Bee about Xara Web Designer. Xara would make any web inspector want to go back to being a spell checker.

    Hi, I'm new to Apple Discussions, but not new to posting to forums.
    Currently I'm not able to post to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac. I can login, view all post threads, create and save a draft, preview the draft, but cannot post the draft to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac.

    I get around the Safari for Mac category error message by clicking on 'next' and it then displays the current threads.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a bonus issue I'd like to resolve asap, to get to my original issue with Safari 4.1 crashing.

    I updated to latest Safari version (7.0.4) but the problem persists.
    I tried downloading a new version of Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks but couldn't find it available.
    Thanks for your help.

    The pop ups are malware. It's not necessary to reinstall Safari.

  • Opening Safari for Mac Web Archives in Safari for Windows???

    I need to open Safari for Mac Web Archives (saved html web pages on a Mac) on my Windows PC at work. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? The original Web Pages are no longer available and the data in the Archives is the only set left.
    I've tried opening the files with Safari for Windows but that doesn't work. I've also tried renaming the web archives from file.webarchive to file.html and that doesn't work either.
    Does anyone out there have any suggestions for accomplishing this task??? Thanks in advance for your help!

    If you can move your archives to a Mac I think you can convert them to folders with Webarchive Folderizer and then move back to your pc:

  • Hi, I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?

    I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?  Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.

    I assume that you are using  Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
    The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
    Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should.

    You will have to reinstall OS X. In the future ignore such things. Don't click on any links or dial any phone numbers. They are all phishing scams.
    Deleting Safari was not a solution.

  • Restore safari for mac os 10.4.8

    Hi,
    I remove the binary file "application/safari" (for mac os 10.4.8).
    How it's possible to restore this file ?
    How it's possible to install only the package safari ?
    thank's

    Hi pascal, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    On your install disc you will see a package looking file that when clicked on will allow separate installation of several apps including Safari. When installed it will be for the OS on the disc. Then do a 10.4.8 Combo Update to bring Safari up to the current version. You may also want to apply the 008 Security Update.

  • Where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell me where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?
    I looked in the Apple page but without any success... And other websites only have Tiger or Leopard version.
    Thank you in advance,
    Sandra Costa

    Welcome Costrasandra!
    Scroll to the very top of this page. See where it says 'Downloads' Click it. It will take you to Apples download page and right there on front is the download and info on Safari's latest version 3.1.2.
    actually... here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    But I don't understand what you mean, MacOSX 10.4.11 IS Tiger.

  • Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?

    Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?
    So is it necessary to buy a mac to guarantee that a website acts like it should, or is the Safari for Windows enough?

  • Safari for Mac download

    Where can I find a Safari for Mac (10.4.11) download???
    The Safari download page only has options for Windows: www.apple.com/safari/download
    Don't tell me to use Software Update either, because that would imply the browser is bundled tightly with Mac OS, which would be "Monopolistic" (sound familiar? MS/IE). Hey, I'm just pointing out the obvious.
    Besides, this Mac does not have Safari installed (Software Update is useless in that case) and I don't have the software restore CDs. Just want Safari. For Mac. Download-able.
    Thanks

    Safari 3.0.4 is automatically installed when upgrading to OS 10.4.11 or Leopard 10.5 or 5.1. Safari 3.0.4 will not run in 10.4.10 or lower. Which version of OS X are you using?

    Can access the Safari forum, but no posts more recent than three days ago appear under "Topics."
    Clicking on the "Safari for Mac" link at the top of the page yields only this: "An error in the system has occurred. Please contact the system administrator if the problem persists."
    Anyone know what's up (or down)?

    How do you contact the system administrator? I've pondered that for a while almost to posing that specific question.

  • Failed update: "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6"

    In successfully updating to OS X 10.4.11 from 10.4.10 the subject java update, "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6", came up from Software Update. In trying to install it, it stalled at the very end of the installation. It again failed on a second try. Later on, using Spotlight, I checked my existing Java version to already be Java 1.4.2 plug-in settings -- the target update from java 1.4. Do I really need this Java Release 6? I'm running Sarafi 3.0.4 and Netscape 7.2. Thanks.

    I'd be suspicious about an aborted partial install myself, have you tried the stand alone installer?

  • Javascript works on Safari for Windows but not on Safari for Mac (2.0.4)

    One part of our mail's web-based interface is not working properly when I use Safari on Mac (2.0.4). However, it works on Safari for Windows and Firefox. I browsed through a lot of the forum entrees with java/javascript on the subject and it seems that java processing is a common problem. I have checked all the necessary settings suggested on the forums but it still does not work.
    We tried using the new Safari on another machine and it works. However, I also see lots of forum entrees asking how to uninstall Safari 3!
    I also have a window on the open-source SugarCRM not working properly on Safari 2.0.4. Any fix coming?

    I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.
